Success at Transcribing Russian Handwriting with AI! - Blog comment by genealogy with dana leeds - 5 days ago

Do you read Russian and could you verify this? As we all know, AIs hallucinate, so we need to be careful. 🙂 I tried the same document with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and the results were similar, though!
